Paul McCartney just bought this penthouse overlooking Central Park for $15.5 million

Rock legend Paul McCartney has purchased a New York City penthouse across the street from Central Park. The price is a cool $15.5 million - not too much of an outlay for a man who is reportedly worth over $1 billion.

The three-floor penthouse is part of a 12-unit building. It sports over 3,500 square feet of living space, four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Windows abound, offering stunning views of the famed New York skyline.

Other highlights include a private elevator, a terrace that spans the width of the building, a marble staircase and high floor-to-ceiling windows.

McCartney, who rose to fame as part of the Beatles, continues to tour, raking in millions for each of his shows.
